Trades My completed team

[Jiska]

Booooooooooooooooooom

 

[Andrew Birch]

Just create the thread mate - other posters will just have to live with it

It's your thread, it's your rules!
It's your Complete stamp, it's yours to stamp!

BTW - I may not have a complete team

Since Jiska has borrowed my "complete stamp" and included mid-pricers in his complete team whilst having no rookies on-field thus meeting the criteria I set last year, perhaps he should start the Completed Teams thread this year?

I remember that now. Wasn't Jisk telling everybody their team wasn't completed last year because they didn't have top 10 players on each line or some crap. A lot can change in a year it seems, especially when your team is doing OK now

Never change Jisk, never change

 

[THECHIEFTON]

See you after the byes....

 

[stevebbb]

I'll be here in round 14.

Dale, Bolton or Hind coming in to finish off my forward line and team.

 

[rocker_oz33]

You all are a bunch of kents .

No, I never ever said that. People were telling me that. I said a team is completed when you don't have any rookies on field.

Solid team. Certainly ahead of mine. Be nice to upgrade Jaith and Atkins at some point. How's the bye structure looking? I'm guessing you won't be doing to many trades considering you only have 8 left.

Bye structure spot on - by fluke - because I never bother looking at them.

Yep, will look to upgrade Jiath and Atkins but given trades left might hold and wait.

+1 Possibly rd13.

same hopefully

will use 4 trades to do the following
Rd 13 - D6 to Whitfield
Rd 14 - M8 to Macrae

just go to work out what to do with F6

No, he was saying the opposite and sticking to his vision of completed which is "your team is complete when you say it's complete!" So, if "your truth" is that a rookie like Poulter for example is a F6 keeper, then your team is complete as you self-identify as having a complete team or some shit....idk the best way is to just let me be in charge of the Complete/Incomplete green/red stamps and lolz, melts & possibly a flame war or two will ensue.

oooooo wait that was you I was talking about. You were the one denying people the right to label their teams as "completed"

Was there a particular rookie last year that dominated and people were holding? I can't remember much from last year, I've tried to remove it from my memory bank lol

I subscribe to the "your team is complete when you say it's complete" notion, provided it's not a rookie
eg. Maynard at D6 averaging 85, Heppell at M8 averaging 95, Heeney at F6 averaging 80

Some people were convinced that Jake Riccardi was a F6 keeper after he scored 82 & 94 in his first 2 games. (he ended up averaging 69 from 6 games) I'm pretty sure you were one of those people, bbb! ...at least initially.

I only had 1 rule last year. No rookies on-field, but kents argued that because rookie Riccardi was averaging higher than Dev Smith & The Chad after his first 2 games that he had just as much right to be classed as a F6 keeper because apparently rookies can keep up an 85+ average indefinitely.

Yeah yeah fair enough

Well, that's sorta true. If you have 0 trades left and have one rookie on-field, then I suppose that's your "completed team" for the year. It's not a rookie-free team, but it's your completed team by default.

Having said that, I'm coming around to your way of thinking. I think you need to at least have no rookies. Mid-pricers are acceptable.

 

[Andrew Birch]

Yeah yeah fair enough

I don't know if I can stamp a team with Judd-Uniake as "completed", at least not with a straight face so I am handing over the complete/incomplete stamps to the board Mods this year before I get myself banned for inciting a flamewar with the Northies.

Has to be some sort of exception though. Otherwise having Michael Barlow in your team in his first year meant you never had a completed team

 

[catstragic]

Twatkins and JC do not a complete team make. It would be like me calling my team complete with super spud phillips on the field.
That being said very nice work Jiska.

 

[THECHIEFTON]

I still want that Andrew Birch seal of approval when mines finally completed.

I think it just comes down to averages. need over 90 f6/d6, ~100 m8.

 

[vanders]

Is a team with Atkins really complete?

 

[Andrew Birch]

Well, Barlow sustained a season ending LTI in Rd14 of his rookie year so having him in the starting 22 of your complete team definitely means your team is not complete. Parked on the bench is fine though. Ditto Rowell, last year.

I mentioned 'common sense exceptions' earlier where there's a group consensus on agreed facts. Eg: Menadue is a 50-60ppg spud that's lucky to be on an AFL list and no team is complete with him on-field etc.

 

[Andrew Birch]

What if a Fwd has a season average of 75 but averaged 100+ whilst in your team?
What if a Mid has a season average of 100+ but only averaged 60 whilst in your team?

Be careful what you wish for with season averages, they can be deceiving. Timing is everything and a high season average is not all that.

 

[Pocket Aces]

Complete is either 0 trades left or when you stop and say I am keeping X trades for injuries, who cares if debuted in 2020 or 2010 or cost 102k or 750k....
